A recent paper, “Intimate Partner Violence: A Bibliometric Review of Literature” by Wu et al. (2020) published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, performed a bibliometric analysis to evaluate publications in the intimate partner violence (IPV) field from 2000 to 2019 based on the Science Citation Index (SCI) Expanded and the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) databases. This work presented a detailed overview of IPV from aspects of types of articles, citations, h-indices, languages, years, journals, institutions, countries and author keywords. The paper showed that the University of Michigan ranked third in the top 20 productive institutions for IPV research globally and that Rob Stephenson ranked 22 in the list of the top 25 authors in terms of contributions to global IPV research. Stephenson is the only University of Michigan faculty member to make the global top 25 and the only researcher on the list whose research focuses on IPV as experienced by LGBT populations.
